Scooling is where you stand. Knowtation is what you stand on. StoreFree is what you keep. Born Free is where you gather. MuseHub is how it remembers who changed what. theBRAIN is how it reaches into a room — later. Overseer Kit is how we build it honestly.

That is the model, not a readiness shortcut. Pair this picture with the honesty labels in HONESTY-LABELS.md.

What problem this solves

DomainLife
The problemYour memory is scattered across chat apps that own it, and the documents that matter are in an inbox.
What the stack doesA vault you keep, documents that outlast the app, and a place to gather.
DomainWork
The problemAI writes confidently into the wrong place; nobody can say who changed what.
What the stack doesAgents propose and humans approve; typed history; a method that cannot fake DONE.
DomainPlay
The problemCommunity happens in feeds that monetise attention and vanish.
What the stack doesReal places, membership, credits, and lasting documents.
DomainResearch / field
The problemFindings live on one person's laptop; provenance dies with the grant.
What the stack doesVault, provenance, and collection at the edge.
DomainBusiness

Continue with the collision glossary before using these nouns when talking about the products.

Sisters

Each card keeps honesty visible — what it is good for today, and what it is not yet for.

Glossary

This glossary only adds cross-product distinctions. Prefer each product’s own help for in-product terms. **Name the product before the noun:** say “Knowtation review,” “Scooling Review,” or “Overseer build review,” never an unqualified “review.”

For product boundaries, continue to StoreFree vs Knowtation. For readiness, use Honesty labels.

Honesty labels

These six labels are the only readiness words we use publicly. Do not invent stronger claims.

LabelLive / beta Hub
Visitor-facing explainerYou can use it today. Some Hub surfaces are still maturing — we say beta when a path is real but not finished.
LabelStaging
Visitor-facing explainerA working preview environment. Explore freely; treat it as pre-production, not a final live cut.
LabelSoft-use / evolving
Visitor-facing explainerYou can try it now while we keep improving it. Soft-use means real people can learn with it; evolving means features and polish still move — readiness stays labeled so you are never sold theater.
LabelVision / coming soon
Visitor-facing explainerThe story and site are public so you can see the direction. Full product availability is still ahead — we will not pretend hardware or ops are shipping before they are.
LabelLive product
Visitor-facing explainerA live product you can join or use today. Claims stay limited to what that project has actually shipped.
LabelBuilder-facing
Visitor-facing explainerBuilt for makers and operators first. Useful now for AI-assisted work discipline; not a consumer app store listing.

An honesty label answers readiness, not adoption, legal effect, retention, or deployment equivalence. A preview surface does not prove a path is finished for everyone.

See the Learn hub for how labels appear on each sister.

StoreFree ↔ Knowtation

KnowtationPropose/approve, CLI, MCP, and memory are central
BoundaryLoss/retention boundary

Born Free ↔ StoreFree

BoundaryPrimary job
Born FreeMembership and access to places: Keys, credits, reservations, governance

This guide keeps Born Free and StoreFree distinct.

Use product-qualified nouns from the collision glossary, then continue to m03 — StoreFree or m02 — Knowtation.
